Description

Now Brewing – business systems analyst lead! #tobeapartner From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others. As a business systems analyst lead, you will drive transformation across Finance and Accounting systems through automation, scalable solutions, and process improvements that enable a timely and accurate financial close. You will lead complex initiatives by translating accounting requirements into system capabilities and influencing stakeholders across Accounting, Finance, and Technology to deliver outcomes that accelerate the close cycle. This individual contributor role requires strong leadership through influence, ownership of decisions, and the ability to drive alignment. As a business systems analyst lead, you will… • Advance automation, data quality, and user enablement – Identify opportunities to automate accounting work, support data quality and audit activities, mitigate delivery risks, and provide training and support materials that drive adoption of finance tools and processes. • Lead end-to-end solution design and delivery – Translate complex accounting requirements into scalable system solutions, and drive initiatives from concept through deployment by coordinating accounting, finance, and technology partners. • Drive continuous improvement and process transformation – Proactively challenge existing processes and lead cross-functional working sessions to redesign workflows, eliminate manual effort, and improve close efficiency. • Lead through influence – Guide and align cross-functional partners without direct authority by setting direction, facilitating decision-making, resolving competing priorities, and ensuring accountability across teams. • Own system integrity, controls, and risk mitigation – Influence control design, partner with Audit and Controllership on SOX compliance, and lead issue resolution efforts to protect the integrity of financial systems and reporting. • Champion innovation and emerging capabilities – Act as a catalyst for change by piloting new capabilities (including AI and BlackLine features), influencing adoption, and helping teams reimagine how accounting work gets done.
